Feature Description
Maximum associated stations Maximum number of WiFi stations the unit may
communicate with
Fragmentation threshold The size at which packets will be fragmented and
transmitted a piece at a time instead of all at once.
Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may
result in poor performance.
RTS threshold The packet size at which the AP will issue a Request
to Send before sending the packet.
Beacon period The amount of time in Kusecs (one Kusec equals
1,024 microseconds) between radio beacons from
the base station to its client stations (laptops, PCs,
etc). Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point
to synchronize a wireless network.
DTIM interval A DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is a
countdown informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. This
setting, always a multiple of the beacon period,
determines how often the beacon contains a traffic
indicator map (TIM). The TIM alerts stations in sleep
state to stay awake long enough to receive their data
frames.
Transmission rate (Mbits/s) The maximum rate of transmission of the base
station, or the method the base station negotiates
downward with its clients in case it cannot transmit at
maximum throughput.
Preamble type Most modern base stations and clients support both
the long and short preamble.
